ISCA - Hobart Bowl Tipper

• Transferring dough or other processed food items from large mixer bowls into smaller containers or onto conveyors.
• Loading ingredients into hoppers or further processing machinery at an ergonomic height.
• Emptying large volume mixing bowls efficiently in bakeries, commercial kitchens, and food production facilities.
• Reducing manual handling and improving workplace safety by automating the tipping process of heavy bowls.

Typical capacity

Designed for bowls commonly associated with large industrial mixers, such as the Hobart HL800, which typically handle 80-quart (approx. 75-litre) to 140-quart (approx. 132-litre) capacities. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific bowl dimensions.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for industrial use. Single-phase options are less common for heavy-duty models.

Tip height

As specified, this unit offers an approximate tip height of 60 inches (152 cm), suitable for discharging into standard hoppers or processing lines. Other models vary, typically from 1.2m to 2m.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for contact parts and painted mild steel for the frame, ensuring hygiene and durability in food environments. Full stainless steel options are also available for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is generally compact, requiring approximately 1.5m x 1m of floor space, plus operational clearance. Exact dimensions vary by model and design.

Safety features

Commonly includes safety interlocks, emergency stop buttons, and guarding to prevent access during operation. Some units feature two-hand controls for enhanced operator safety.
